"Firs'-years here!!" shouted a huge man with a lantern. 

Almost immediatly a group of scurry kids gathered around him. The Griffindor girls left first towards some carriages, as Sumire debated if she should go with the first-years or not. Not wanting to stand out she choose the latter, slowly walking towards the chariot. 

As she approached she observed odd-looking horses pulling them, an aspect that was ignored by the other students. Taking her time she started to observe the horses, they were pale grey with combinations of red. They looked omnious but welcoming in a way.

"They're called Thestrals", said someone pulling the shinobi out of her trance, "They can only be seen by people who've seen death, that's why everyone is ignoring them." 

Sumire turned around to look for the voice's owner only to find Regulus Black, but this time he was accopanied by a brown-haired male. Not wainting for an answer the wizard climbed a carriage, with the other boy behind him. Sumire followed them, neither speaking.

It was a quiet ride, the shonobi admired the peisage of the Black Lake, the castle's lights were shinning in the water toghether with the stars, making it look magical. On the sturdy walls were little lights dancing from time to time signaling movement and in the air a scent of wood and iron was present. 

Arriving at their destination they climbed down the carriage, proceeding towards the Great Hall, but Minerva McGonagall was waiting for the shinobi outside the entrance.

 "Ms. Uchiha, we've been expecting you." said the stern witch. "Now, you will be sorted with the first years. Follow me, please." and she started walking without expecting an answer. The woman expertly guided the ninja in a small room where nervous little humans were waiting for the sorting. 

"Welcome to Hogwarts," said Professor McGonagall. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the Great Hall, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your house will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You willhave classes with the rest of your house, sleep in yourhouse dormitory and spend free time in your housecommon room. 

     The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff,Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own noblehistory and each has produced outstanding witches andwizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs willearn your house points, while any rule-breaking will losehouse points. At the end of the year, the house with themost points is awarded the House Cup, a great honour. Ihope each of you will be a credit to whichever housebecomes yours.", stopping for a second she inspected the students, "Now let's proceed."

     Walking in the Great Hall, the shinobi was greeted with a fabulous image of the floating candels. There were four tables, one for each houses, and in front of them a long table for the teachers was placed. In front of the teachers's table a small stoll with a battered hat was placed, courious enough, each student in the room was looking at the hat expectantly. Right when Sumire began to wander if they are ok in the head, the hat started singing. 

And it sang for 5 long minutes before setteling down again. McGonagall took a scroll out and started speaking:

"When I call your names, the hat will be placed on your head and will decide your house. Alvares, Rodrigo" a little kid split from the crowd and sit on the stoll, the hat took a few minutes before shouting "HUFFLEPUFF".

"Niculescu, Christian "  "RAVENCLAW"

"Yeager, Eren" "GRYFFINDOR"

And the sorting ceremony went on for quite a while, until the last kid, Verde Bloom, was sorted in Slytherin. Now in front of the stoll only Sumire was waiting, making the courious students wander about the girl.

"Uchiha, Sumire", sitting on the stoll, Sumire could hear the hat in her head "Interesting, very interesting....oh such horrid things you went through, you killed your brother? I see a lot of breavery, but the recklesness is absent, definetly not Griffindor. I see cleverness quite a lot of it, but you lack the thirst of knowledge...hmm. I know, better be SLYTHERIN!", taking the hat off, the ninja went towards the clapping table. She sat down at the end of it, but she could see Regulus with the other boy around the middle. They were chit-chatting with a brown-haired girl, she was beautiful but her whole aura seemed cold, small cracks were present when she conversed with the boys.

While she analyzed the people at the table a rather rude girl started taking to the shinobi.

"You're from the Elemental Nations, right? Is it true that you kill your own friends?" said the girl as she started smirking.

"Only if they deserve it" answered Sumire unbothered.

But something was amiss, the girl didn't look angry or scared, she was looking at the Uchiha with respect, almost smiling actually.

"Lucille Rosier, nice to meet you." introduced herself then without waiting for an answer she continued "you know? It's really hard to find someone so easy to joke with, eneryone here just takes it personal, it's like I'm surrounded by overly sesitive babies." finished the girl fully smirking.

The Uchiha scanned her, she had dark hair and almost black eyes, high-cheekbones and she looked stuck-up, but the presence she had it was playful, almost unapologetic. 

"Uchiha Sumire" shortly said the girl.

The Rosier snorted then ironically said "Yeah, I know, they just said your name at the sorting." and changing the subject added "Now, what I want to know is why are you staring holes into Black and my brother, because you don't seem the type who has crushes " said the sly witch.

The mention of the two boys got the Uchiha's attention and she turned towars the girl. She was looking expectantly at her, but the answer ceased to come, McGonagall lightly tapped her glass to get the kids attention. Then Dumblendore rose from his seat and began talking about the semester and welcomed his students back.

After that, they were hurried towards their dorms by the prefects. The fifth-year Slytherin prefects were Regulus Black and Lucille Rosier, the latter looked at the Uchiha and winked at her. They gathered the first years and Sumire and walked towards the common room. The Slytherin dorm was in the dungeon, a fact that was actually nice for the shinobi. As they reached the portret Black stopped and turned towards the new-comers.

"The password is 'Isidora', remember it." then he turned and entered the common room, "the girl's dormitories are on the left, the boy's on the right." and he left without another word.

The Uchiha went on the left and searched for her dorm, finding it, the label said two other names 'Narcissa Black, Lucille Rosier'.
